So happy to see the Yerkes Observatory again, but this time restored. I grew up in Wisconsin in the 50's and did not know it existed. This is truly an American Treasure !
It truly is. Wisconsin's best kept secret. The team in charge is doing such a careful job with preserving the legacy of this incredible place. Thanks so much for watching.
Edward Emerson (E. E.) Barnard was one of the first astrophotographers and identified comets, a Jovian moon (Amalthea), and 370 dark nebulae in his Barnard Catalogue including The Horsehead Nebula (aka Barnard 33 or B33). Barnard was at Yerkes in 1895 after joining University of Chicago as professor of Astronomy. Mary Calvert was his niece and assistant at Yerkes from 1905. He did all of this without ever graduating from college (he was awarded Doctorates for his lifetime of discoveries). He logged more observing hours on the 40-inch telescope at Yerkes than any other observer. Clear Skies and God Bless from an astrophotographer in the Black Hills of South Dakota!
What a majestic piece of history and a beautiful refractor. Im just enjoying the video and learning all about it. I do have an old image of that famous telescope with Albert Einstein stood with a group of astronomers from last century.
My granddaughter, daughter and I met you two on the trolley from East Troy to The Pampered Farmer. This is the first of your videos I have viewed. We visited Yerkes that same trip and was so impressed. I found your page from the latest Yerkes newsletter. I will check out your other projects. Come up to Elkhorn in August for Das Fest- it would make a fun video too.
I'm so glad you reached out. We loved Yerkes! Thanks for the tip. Our best videos usually come from suggestions from our viewers. If you are in the Wisconsin area - and have not been to Epic systems in Verona it is incredible - we do have a video on that.

Very cool place. Thanks for being there! :)
Lol
I would love to visit this place!
I hope you get to. There is so much history there.
Excellent video and a beautiful refractor that had a significant impact on our understanding of the Universe!
Thank you for your kind words. We were so surprised to learn what an impact was made right in Wisconsin. One of our states best kept secrets!
Very awesome place! Thanks for going there! :)
One of our top places in Wisconsin. A true hidden gem.
Lol
Go Wisconsin!
So many cool things in this state. Thanks for watching!
🔭The Yerkes Observatory Is A National Treasure. I Have A Mini Version In The Backyard. I Consider It My Personal Treasure.🔭
@@ObservaDome It truly is. We are so fortunate that they saved it. It could have been condos!
I wish the sound had been consist ant!!!!
I really appreciate the note on our sound quality. We just got a new microphone so hopefully future videos will be better. Thanks for watching.
🎃"@johnnyfivefifty" The Sound Was Great🎃
Almost a cleenex moment, in awe ❤😊
@@WayneScott-w7z So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
enough talks, just put a camera for a real idea of what it's like through a 1 meter refractor.
This is Black History. We appreciate you not demolishing it. It is time to tell the truth about BLACK history.
